[AccessD] Good price on disk

The description says 6gb interface.

In the end no mechanical disk can saturate even the 3gb interface, although for a little while the 
cache probably could.  In addition I am still going to be using some 5 year old Areca RAID controllers.

I have been working on off 300g and 500g drives using many to eke out a couple of gigs of raid 
storage.  Four of these should make it work, getting rid of all those old drives and freeing up 
slots, power etc in the process.

This is for my VM server.

I will be going back to the well for a bunch of SSDs.  Those will be 6g interfaces and I will be 
using a new 6g RAID card as well.  That will be used for pushing the I/O of the VMs as high as possible.
